Saturday.
Fenzhou City.
Early in the morning, Dong Xuebin drove his Camry to the city alone.
The vast traffic flow, bustling crowds, environment and atmosphere are obviously several levels higher than those in their county.
There is a meeting with the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau today. It was notified on Monday. All directors of the Investment Promotion Bureau of counties and county-level cities must attend. It is a work meeting at the beginning of the year. Although the vertical leadership of the Investment Promotion Bureau is not as strong as that of the courts and , the meeting of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau is just a walk-through process, but it is also the most important work meeting of the Investment Promotion Bureau every year. It is okay not to participate. It just so happens that Dong Xuebin has just arrived, and he has to take the opportunity to get familiar with the leader. In fact, It stands to reason that he should have reported in when he first took office.
Dong Xuebin from the city had been here several times, but was not very familiar with it. It took him a long time to find the compound of the City Investment Promotion Bureau.
It was still early, so I only saw two cars with other county license plates parked there, and many city bureau staff didn't come to work. After parking the car, Dong Xuebin got out of the car and went straight to the six-story office building. After asking someone, he went up to the sixth floor and knocked lightly on the door of the director's office.
"... Come in." A dignified middle-aged voice sounded in the room.
Dong Xuebin pushed the door open and went in, "Is this Director Zeng? I am Dong Xuebin from Yantai County, reporting my arrival."
Zeng Wei raised his head and said, "It's Director Dong. The meeting won't open until half past nine. You're early."
Dong Xuebin's heart moved. Is this a sign that I didn't come to the city to report to him when I took office? You said I came early, but actually you accused me of coming late? He thought for a moment and said: "I came here to report to you. Director Meng retired from illness a while ago, and the bureau's work was piled up. Later, the county gave us another 500 million task, and then Xinhua News Agency The reporter is here again, and now I have no chance to come to the city to ask for your instructions. "Whether Zeng Wei has thoughts about himself or not, Dong Xuebin has to be honest.
Zeng Wei said seriously, "Isn't the investment recruitment work hard?"
"Yeah, I won't know until I take office..." Dong Xuebin started chatting with him.
Zeng Wei was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows. He was the kind of unsmiling leader. I don’t know if he was like this with everyone or just with Dong Xuebin. Anyway, Director Zeng never smiled much from beginning to end. After talking for a while, Zeng Wei lowered his head and looked at his watch. Dong Xuebin saw that he was seeing off guests, so he said goodbye and left. Dong Xuebin is very famous in Yantai County, but he is nothing in the city. It is estimated that people have never heard of him, and even if they have heard of him, they will not take him seriously. This is just like the mayor of a prefecture-level city going to the capital to do business. Even though you can have all the influence in the city, when you get to the capital you are nothing.
Early nine o'clock.
Cars with county license plates drove into the compound of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau.
City Bureau Building No. 2, outside the large conference room.
Seeing that someone had already entered the venue, Dong Xuebin straightened his collar and followed them inside.
"Hey, wait a minute." An office worker from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau stopped him at the door. The young man looked at Dong Xuebin and wondered why the leader came with his secretary to a meeting? And he looked very strange, having never seen him before, "Which director did you come with?"
Dong Xuebin looked at him, "Who else should I come with? Can't I come by myself?"
The staff member frowned, "This is the director's work meeting, you..."
Dong Xuebin didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and didn't show him his work permit. He just strode in. He always had this temper.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The staff member quit, "Stop!"
An old comrade from the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau office came over and said, "Keep your voice down, what are you doing?"
The young man pointed at Dong Xuebin's back and said, "I don't know which director's secretary he is, but he insists on entering."
When the old comrade saw it, he couldn't help but turn around and glare at him, "I said you couldn't be more alert? That should be the newly appointed director of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Yantai County."
The young man was stunned, "Director? So young?"
The old comrade shook his head helplessly. The most taboo thing in official circles is to judge people by their appearance.
The young man felt a little bitter in his heart. He felt that this was not his fault. The director of the Investment Promotion Bureau held a full-level position. When he came to the city for meetings, he had seen many people. He was either forty or thirty years old. When had he met? A director in his early twenties? After thinking about it, the young man became anxious. Although he worked in the city's investment promotion department, he was still an ordinary clerk. After hesitating for a while, he hurriedly entered the venue to find Dong Xuebin and apologized to him in a low voice, "Director, what happened just now?" It’s because I’m too blind to see Taishan, I’m sorry.”
Of course, Dong Xuebin didn't have to be as knowledgeable as him. He waved his hands and said nothing.
One after another, a quarter of the people in the large conference room have arrived.
Looking at the middle-aged people dressed in jackets and hooded clothes, Dong Xuebin didn’t recognize any of them, and most of the people didn’t know him, so he didn’t say hello. He looked sideways and finally found the writing address in front of a table. Dong Xuebin walked over with a sign with Dong Xuebin's name on it. Just as he was about to sit down, Dong Xuebin let out a sigh and squinted and saw another familiar name, Pan Zhou, right next to his name sign. The two people were seated next to each other. . Dong Xuebin smiled coldly. It's true that we are enemies, but that's normal. Yantai County and Dafeng County are neighboring counties.
After sitting on the chair, Dong Xuebin began to close his eyes and rest.
Squeak, the sound of a chair being pulled suddenly came to my ears.
Dong Xuebin turned around and saw that a middle-aged man had already sat in Pan Zhou's seat. He was about forty years old. His eyes and eyebrows were very thin. Coupled with his thin figure, Dong Xuebin gave birth to a kind of... Feeling very uncomfortable, "Oh, this is Director Pan, right?"
Pan Zhou looked surprised. He glanced at the name in front of him and immediately laughed, "It turns out to be Director Dong."
Dong Xuebin smiled exaggeratedly, "I finally meet you today, Director Pan. I have admired your name for a long time."
"We've never interacted with each other before, so what's there to admire?" Pan Zhou said with a smile.
Dong Xuebin stretched out his hand and shook his hand. The moment Pan Zhou's hand came into contact with his, Dong Xuebin suddenly exerted force and said with a smile: "Of course I have admired him for a long time. Director Pan is so supportive of our Yantai County." We also asked reporters from Xinhua News Agency to go to our place to help publicize our work achievements, but it helped us a lot. We are all very grateful to you, haha... "
Pan Zhou said without changing his expression: "What Xinhua News Agency? Director Dong made a mistake? If there is a chance for publicity, I will definitely have to follow our Dafeng County first."
"Haha, that's why I say Director Pan is righteous!"
"No, haha..."
Dong Xuebin let go of his hand and said to himself that you are quite capable of pretending and resisting being beaten.
Pan Zhou didn't seem to be hurt by Dong Xuebin's pinch. He retracted his hand with a smile, turned his head, and spoke to the head of the nearby county investment promotion bureau, "Hey, Lao Ruan, when did you arrive? Let's talk about it first, and then we'll wait. After the meeting, you have to prepare a table. I heard that your county attracted a 50 million project just after the New Year? "
Director Ruan said happily: "Old Pan, just pretend with me. Don't think that I don't know. You will also have an investment of 50 million in the next year, and I heard that Liu Cheng was attracted by you. No. Do you know how many people are eager for you, have you signed the contract? "
Pan Zhou said with a smile: "Not yet, we just discussed the contract."
Director Ruan said: "It will only take a few days. Liu Cheng is very well-known in the country. With the chain reaction, it can drive a lot of development. The media will definitely have to promote it for you for free. The name of Dafeng County is now But if it gets louder, the projects will definitely be one after another, alas, it can’t be compared.”
Dong Xuebin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Liu Cheng? Does this name sound familiar
Very well-known in the country? Eh? Could it be Liu Cheng who plays snooker
Dong Xuebin frowned. Of course he knew this Liu Cheng. It seems that his hometown is Fenzhou City. He is a professional snooker player. His billiards skills are not ranked very high in the world, but he still ranks highly in domestic snooker competitions. Those who can stand out are usually ranked around the top few, and the annual bonus will not be small. What's wrong? Are you going to invest in Dafeng County? Want to be your own boss? Pan Zhou is lucky enough to attract such a person? Just like Director Ruan said, no matter how much they invest, Liu Cheng's reputation will give them extra points.
Seeing Pan Zhou's high-spirited look, Dong Xuebin's eyes narrowed and became smaller.
At this time, Zeng Wei, director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, and several deputy directors walked into the meeting room, and the meeting room gradually became quiet.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zeng Wei took a manuscript and explained the general direction of this year's investment promotion work and some planned matters. Finally, he named and praised several counties that performed well in investment promotion last year.
One hour…
Two hours…
The meeting broke up and everyone left.
Dong Xuebin didn't listen carefully to any speech at all. He mainly carried out the tasks assigned by the county. The Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau did not have much command over him.
Only then did Director Ruan step in and ask, "Old Pan, who is this?"
Pan Zhou smiled and said: "This is Dong Xuebin from Yantai County."
Director Ruan thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to shake Dong Xuebin's hand, "Director Dong! I know you! I watched the video of the tiger hunting in the wildlife park on the news! It's amazing!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said a few words of modesty.
Pan Zhou obviously hadn't heard of it, "Tiger hunting? What news?"
"I almost lost my life, don't mention it." Dong Xuebin said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so I will go back first. Director Pan, the days are long. There will be many opportunities for us to deal with each other in the future, right?"
Pan Zhou smiled, but nothing could be seen on his face, "Yes, there are many."
Director Ruan felt that the relationship between the two was not harmonious. He looked at them separately and said with a smile: "Director Dong, since I have something to do, I won't invite you to lunch. We will eat together another day."
Dong Xuebin nodded in agreement and immediately walked out of the venue.
Ring ring ring, the phone suddenly rang. RO
